' 7 No one denies that there have been, and still will be, boy geniuses. Little William J ames Sidis has dazzled the wise men of the east with his conver- sations, writings and addresses on philosophical and mathematical subjects. He will soon know all that Harvard can teach him, while Nicholas Wiener is treating Cornell to the same sort of a sensation. Frederick C. Leonard, the young as- tronomer of Chicago, only fifteen now, was writ- ing learned articles for the English and American magazine...s at thirteen. We are not producing a great many boy geniuses at the present time, but perhaps we have all we need. We really do not need as many as they did in past times, because the average boy knows so much more about scientific and other matters than grown-up men knew a hundred years ago. Franklin would have given all his possessions to know as much about electricity as any boy of twelve knows to-day. The mass of common knowledge bulks so large and the level of the intellectual life is so high that we do not need men to blaze the way as far ahead as the genius used to do.
